How residents rate Jefferson Parish as a place to live, work and raise a family provides valuable information to guide the future vision of our Parish.

JEFFERSON NOW aims to help our political, civic and business leaders create this vision by tracking the quality of life in Jefferson Parish. Through a recent survey, JEFFERSON NOW offers objective insights into our Parish’s strengths and challenges. It is the intent of the sponsoring organizations that this original Quality of Life survey serve as a baseline from which future surveys can be compared and our progress on issues important to residents can be measured. The sponsoring organizations intend to work with elected officials and civic groups to address the challenges to our quality of life. This booklet highlights some of the most important information captured in the survey.
